According to an Arkansas State Police report, a trooper stopped a black Mustang for not using a turn signal on Sept. 14. As he approached the vehicle, the trooper thought Reese was under the influence due to Reese “uncontrollably twitching” and moving around in the seat. The report stated the trooper also noticed Reese moving various items near the console and tried to shield what he was doing. Reese complied with the trooper’s request to step out of the vehicle, but refused to move toward the back at which time the trooper placed him under arrest. After a struggle, Reese was handcuffed and the trooper conducted a search of the car and found a black pouch containing two bags of methamphetamine, two syringes, two weights, one digital scale and a spoon, according to the report. The report indicated the methamphetamine weighed 1.6 grams, an estimated street value of $160. The contraband was turned over to drug task force (DTF).

District Court Judge Don Bourne said the DTF had also placed a hold on Reese.
